virtio-console: Enable port throttling when chardev is slow to consume data
When a chardev indicates it can't accept more data, we tell the virtio-serial code to stop sending us any more data till we tell otherwise. This helps in guests continuing to run normally while the vq keeps getting full and eventually the guest stops queueing more data. As soon as the chardev indicates it can accept more data, start pushing! Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>
